[There's clear radio silence for a long, long time. Billy isn't saying anything right now, but then he speaks. He sounds a little shaky, but not teary. Billy hasn't been home yet - but finally after a night out, he's back home.]

I just...

Whatever happened this weekend, the people I hurt, I'm so, so sorry. I don't know what that curse was or why

I'm not mad. I'm spending all day playing Katamari Damacy and eating junk food, but I'm not mad.

[Teddy has kind of a nest of cushions going on in front of the television.]

[repeatshimself]

[He comes out after a little while, looking like he hasn't really gotten out of bed, and sits just a little bit away]

Is it good junk food?

[lookjustlike]

I have like three kinds of potato chips and Oreos. And Mountain Dew.

[Which is probably the clearest indication that Teddy hasn't really been sleeping and doesn't plan on trying in the near future.]

[repeatshimself]

Double-stuf?

[He curls up on his side of the couch]

[lookjustlike]

Of course.

[As much as Teddy feels like not dealing with the world or the weekend, it doesn't feel right being totally closed off when Billy is right there. He relents, pushed over a wall of his cushion-fort and reaches out his hand.]

Come over here.

[repeatshimself]

[It takes him a second, but finally he makes his way over, scooting back his fort to take Teddy's hand]

Can we pretend that this weekend never happened?

[lookjustlike]

[Teddy is quiet for a long moment, leaning against Billy.]

So far it's not working.

[repeatshimself]

[He leans back]

I hurt someone. With my magic.

[lookjustlike]

I know.

[Pause.]

It wasn't really you, though.

[repeatshimself]

It was kind of me.

[He buries his face in Teddy's shoulder]

I treated you badly too.

[lookjustlike]

You did kind of freak me out. But I'm okay. Well, sort of okay, I mean, we're okay. Okay?

[Teddy pulls him close and nuzzles Billy's hair.]

[repeatshimself]

[He kind of sits there in a Billy-shaped lump]

I'm glad you're not mad at me, which is probably the most selfish thing I've said all year.

[lookjustlike]

I'm just glad I have my Billy back.

I expect you to spoil me for at least the next week, though.

[repeatshimself]

I already have plans to carve out the stuffing of all those oreos and make like a monster-stuf one.

[lookjustlike]

[Teddy lets going of him in order to pass him the oreos and settle into a more comfortable position. He's quiet for a little while.]

I do kind of have a few questions.

[repeatshimself]

[Billy noms a cookie an looks over at Teddy, waiting for the questions]
